Huawei and SchneiTec Commission World's First TÜV SÜD-Certified Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project

2025-06-16 18:21 Last Updated At:18:45

SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with SchneiTec, has successfully commissioned Cambodia's first-ever TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project, marking a key milestone in the country's transition toward a sustainable energy future. As a leading energy solutions provider in the region, SchneiTec previously developed Cambodia's largest solar power plant.

This newly completed 12MWh energy storage project includes a 2MWh testbed dedicated to validating Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS technology. The system has demonstrated its exceptional capabilities in stabilizing the grid in both off-grid and weak-grid scenarios by facilitating the seamless integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. The project has received authoritative certification from TÜV SÜD, marking Cambodia's first grid-forming ESS deployment and laying a strong foundation for future capacity expansion and large-scale energy infrastructure development.

The project was jointly tested by TÜV SÜD, SchneiTec, and Huawei Digital Power. TÜV SÜD — renowned globally for its rigorous standards in energy technology testing and certification — verified the key technical capabilities of Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS, including inertia response, high/low voltage ride-through, frequency support, and overload performance.

Key Testing Highlights:

  • Grid-forming inertia: Huawei's grid-forming technology demonstrated exceptional inertia response performance, achieving an inertia time constant (Tj) range of 3–20 seconds — well beyond the standard requirement of 3–12 seconds — enabling faster grid stabilization.
  • Low/high voltage ride-through: The system effectively managed voltage fluctuations, maintaining grid stability during short-term voltage dips and surges. It remained operational across a wide voltage range from 5% to 130% of the rated grid voltage.
  • Overload and frequency support: The grid-forming ESS operated stably and reliably under short-term overload conditions of up to 300%, and effectively suppressed low-frequency oscillations across the 0.2Hz–5Hz range.
  • Black start: The technology enabled rapid black start capability under load, enabling efficient grid restoration following a complete outage.

This independent verification of Huawei's grid-forming ESS technology represents the first overseas on-site validation of the system in full compliance with international standards, including IEC, China National Standards, the UK Grid Code, and Germany's VDE standards.

Obtaining TÜV SÜD certification demonstrates that Huawei's grid-forming ESS technology meets globally recognized benchmarks for energy management and grid stability. This milestone not only marks a major achievement in Huawei Digital Power's technological development journey, but also represents a landmark moment in the evolution of energy sector innovation.

Huawei Digital Power's successful collaboration with SchneiTec signals a significant step forward in Cambodia's renewable energy transition. As Cambodia's renewable energy roadmap progresses, Huawei Digital Power will continue to drive innovation — delivering stable, scalable, and reliable solutions to meet the country's growing demand for sustainable electricity, and supporting the advancement of its energy infrastructure.

  • Executive Chair Chung emphasizes customer-focused transformation and ecosystem strengthening to navigate evolving market dynamics and lead new industry standards
  • Presents strategic priorities, including agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, and bold collaboration with diverse partners
  • Executives discuss AI internalization, digital transformation strategies, and business growth initiatives during candid roundtable with global employees

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (The Group) today shared its 2026 strategic vision with global employees, with Executive Chair Euisun Chung presenting priorities focused on continuous customer-focused transformation, strengthened ecosystem competitiveness, and AI-driven innovation to navigate evolving market dynamics and lead new industry standards.

During his new year remarks, Executive Chair Chung presented five key strategic priorities — customer-focused evolution, agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, bold collaboration, and leading new industry standards — to navigate the evolving global landscape.

Driving Transformation Through Customer Focus

Executive Chair Chung opened by expressing gratitude to employees and customers, acknowledging 2025's unprecedented business environment changes while thanking employees for their exceptional performance and customers for their continued trust. He noted that 2026 will bring both headwinds and opportunities as the global business landscape continues to evolve rapidly.

Chung emphasized continuous transformation driven by customer insights. "When conditions get tough and competition fierce, our greatest strength will be our ability to continuously evolve by staying close to our customers," he said.

Specifically, he encouraged employees to take a moment and assess some fundamental questions: "Did we thoroughly reflect customers' perspectives in our products? Did we ever compromise in the process of planning or development? Can we confidently speak of our quality in front of customers? Through these questions, we can look back upon ourselves squarely and strive for progress, thereby keeping ourselves resilient against any challenges," he said.

Agile Decision-Making Through Direct Engagement

Executive Chair Chung welcomed transformation in work methods and leadership. "Leaders must step out into the field, engage directly with people, and understand the essence of situations firsthand," he said.

He emphasized the importance of speed and clarity in organizational operations. "Above all, what matters most is fast and clear communication, and agile decision-making that is free from formality. Let us work more efficiently," he said, highlighting that by fresh thinking of its approaches, the Group can continue to achieve innovation.

Building Competitive Advantage Through Ecosystem Strength

Executive Chair Chung reinforced the importance of ecosystem strength, noting that Group businesses such as vehicle and humanoid robot manufacturing each involve tens of thousands of components, requiring exceptional performance and quality across the entire production chain.

"The strength of our supply ecosystem directly amplifies our competitive advantage. Sustainable growth is possible only when the whole ecosystem stays healthy," he said.

Bold Collaboration for AI-Driven Transformation

Executive Chair Chung emphasized that as AI technology rapidly develops and competitive dynamics shift, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing a major transition. He highlighted the need to advance through bold collaboration with diverse partners in navigating this AI-driven transformation.

"Looking at the automotive market alone, we've entered an era where core product competitiveness is determined by AI capabilities," he noted. Chung emphasized that Hyundai Motor Group is rapidly building capabilities to compete at the highest level, leveraging world-class product design and manufacturing expertise, plus valuable data from manufacturing sites and user experiences.

He shared his strong belief in the Group's competitiveness in the physical AI field and how this will continue to grow to serve customers. "We possess world-class capabilities in the design and manufacturing of physical products. If we envision a bigger future and boldly expand collaboration with various partners to broaden the industrial ecosystem, I am confident we will deliver greater value to customers," he said.
